toby kieth...

guess where i'm going on thursday night...to see toby kieth!!!!! yay!!! i'm pumped up! another teacher had bought the tickets, and she won't be able to go...so...i am! my friend andrew and i are going. the only problem...i have to get up on friday and teach :/

ok...i'm really back!

FINALLY!!! i'm back among the living...i have cable and internet! i felt like i missed out on so much over those 2 weeks without it! here's a quick catch up...

in july i went to the mountains again..it was fabulous! so relaxing :) here are a couple of pics from the trip.

lots of hanging out with holly...4th of july and laying out. i got so burned i peeled for a month!!!

one of my really good friends, Anna, left for 2 years. she'll be in Africa teaching at a missionary school. we had gotten really close over the past few months, and i already miss her! here we are at her surprise going away dinner and on the morning that she left...
my cousin caroline got married...she's a year older than me, so i guess all the focus is going to be on me since i'm the only single girl left in the family! if i'm ok with that, why can't everyone else be??! :)
i started back to work on the 23rd. can you believe school starts in july??! my kids came back on the 26th. i already feel like i had never left. so far, things are going REALLY well. all of my classes are wonderful. i can't wait to see all we can accomplish this year. i just want the kids to love math! hopefully, then they will want to learn :) i'll have to take some pics of my classroom to share! here i am walking out the door on the first day...

ok, so now i'm back online, and i plan on blogging everyday...even if i have nothing to say :) leave comments, because i've missed my stalking time when it comes to your blogs! fill me in...
